Hurry and Dispatch.

Among the many causes Of poor and
inefficient work is the habit OF hurry,
which takes possession of some busy
people. Having, or imagining they
have, more to do in given time than
can be done properly, they grow con-
fused, agitated and nervous; and,
under this pressure, they proceed
with the work in hand without requi-
site deliberat on and care, perhaps
emitting parts of it-sometimes inn
portant parts and producing at last
an imperfect and inferior performance,
which can neither be permanent nor
satisfactory.
There is hardly any employment,
from the simplest manual work to the
most complex and difficult mental
labor, that does not suffer from this
cause. The dwelling-house in process
OF building is to be finished at GER
tain time. With proper forethought
and system it would have been done,
but the time approaches and the work
is still incomplete. The future occu-
pants ore impatient, the contractor is
anxious, the workmen are driven, the
work is hurried through, and annoy

ger ensue, and repairs are soon found
necessary. The business man under
takes more than he can manage, the
days are not long enough for his needs,
he is agitated by the constant pressure,
driven by conflicting claims, his busi-
ness suffers for the want OF clear and
cool head, his health suffers from con-
tinu1l and unrelaxed exertion, his
family suffers from his deterioration,
and general disaster ensues. The
physician, with many other calls to
ma e, hurries through the visit, neg
lecting some important symptom, and
lis patient dies; the lawyer hurries
through his plea, and loses his case; the
preacher hurries through the prepara-
tion of bis sermon. and fails to make
an impression the artist hurries on his
picture TO completion, and his best
conception is nos there; the teacher
hurr es through pres ribed course OF
instruction, aud the class is left desti-
tute of the more important elements OF
knowledge. IL is not too much to say
that large proportion of the unhappi-

ness, the ignorance, the loss of proper
ty, and even the loss of life that is en-
dured in the world is to be directly
traced to the hurry aud drive which
characterize 20 much of the labor per-
formed.
Many persons not only drift into
these hurried ways but pride them
selves upon them. They boast of their
speed, and contrast it with the slower
measures of their more deliberate
neighbors. They fatter themselves
upon their dispatch, and hold them
selves of more value on that account.
Slowness in work, lingering or loiter-
ing over what is to be done, is not to
be recommended. On the contrary,
energy and vigor will prompt the
healthy and Industrious man to labor
steadily and rapidly, while neglecting
nothing that is needed to perfect his
work. But this is very different from
the agitated and excited hurry which
has been mentioned, and which is to be
deprecated. d.-PhilGdeLphid Ledger.

The Wandering Jew.

It is only occasionally that the old
fashioned Jew peddler is to be seen.
Recently, however, L came across one
in the suburbs of this city. He was a
wretched-looking specimen, who had
been driven out of Poland and sought
refuge and protection beneath the stars
and stripes. His knowledge of English
seemed to be confined to the names
and prices of the articles he was vend-
ing. To all other remarks he replied
by showing his long, yellow teeth, in a
melancholy attempt at smile, and q
shake of the head. His hooked nose,
his long, disheveled hair and beard, his
small, black, and bead-like eyes, and
his dirty, ill-fitting garments gave him
such an uncanny appearance that the
children fed at his approach, and even
the dogs, after short, hysterical
spasm of barking, dropped their tails
between their legs and quickly skunk
out OF sight.
This wandering child of Israel car
ried varied line of merchandise. In
strings, on his left arm an ussortment OF
suspenders, in his left hand a box con-
tanning cheap jewelry, and over his
shoulders a large pack filled with
hand erchiefs, towels, and similar ar
ticles. His sales were few, for the days
of the thriving Jew peddler, in Amer
lea, are gone by. Since Jerusalem was
wrested from the Israelites they have
been wanderers over the face of the
earth. But, wanderers as they are,
it makes no difference under what skies
or among what people they are born
and bred, they are still Jews in form,
feature, and characteristics. Other
peoples mingle aud lose their identity,
but the Jews never. "Tarry thou

poser, Adolph Frederick Lindblad.
Jenny Lind was Is years of age when,
after brilliant successes in private en-
tertainments and in court concerts, she
made her first appearance in opera as
Agatha in Ser rieschutz." This was
eciipsed that OF all swednsh- singsors.
In 1871 she placed herself under the
tuition of Garcia ut Paris. She was
engaged at Berlin in 1914, at the IN
stance of Meyerbeer. who had met her
in Paris, and her "periol of glory" as
an enthusiastic admirer puts it, began
in that city, in Norma" Her engage
ment at the Prussian capital ended in
April, 1845, after which she visited
several German cities, including vi
emma. The great singer made her debut
in London, in lS47, with very marked
success. 1t was followed by tour in
England. After spending some time in
Stockholm, where tickets emitting the
fortunate holders to seats where she
sang were sold by auction, she returned
to London in 1849. She retired from
the stage in May of that year, the prin-
cipal cause being the objection OF q
gentleman to whom she was engaged
to be married, but who did not become
her nuSUHuu.
Jenny Lind now formed the project
to devote herself to oratorio and con-
cert singing, and in 1850 she made an
engagement with =. Il. Barnum for q
concert tour in America, extending
through the United States, Brit sh
Provinces, Mexico and the West In
dies. Her first appearance in New
York will be remembered as probably
the greatest musical event that has ever
taken place ON this continent. The
receipts of this tour were $6l0, 900, of
which her share amounted to 1902, ,O0c.
It was at Boston, February 5, 1852,
that she became the wife of Mr.. Otto
Goldsmidt, who accompanied her as
pianist. In 1852 Madame Goldsmith
and her husband returned to Europe.
She visited her native city, and then
made her residence at Dresden. Some
of her greatest triumphs were realized
in England, after her return to that
country in 1856. In 1874 she and her
husband became leading Professors at
the Rhenish Academy of Mus C in Wies-
baden. Her home of late years has
been in London, where her kind man
ners and abundant charities, as every
where she has lived, have endeared heI
to the public.
Jenny Lind will be remembered 10y
posterity as queen of song, nor less
as q model wife, mother and friend
and woman of great and beneficen

The Illinois papers are praising old
Mr.. Beard, of Rantoul, so years old,
who churned, worked, packed, and
sold 10 pounds of butter, all in one
morning. We never had the pleasure
OF meeting old Mr.. Beard, but we have
often eaten butter of that brand at our
boarding house. We think it was q
part of a lot, too, that Mr.. Beard made
when he was boy. Bearded butter is

Don't IIenr EYerrihing.

The art of not hearing should be
learned by all. 1t is fully as Important
to domestic happiness as cultivated
ear, for which so much time and money
are expended. There are so many
thing which it is painful to hear, many
which we ought not to hear, very many
which, if heard, will disturb the tenn
per, corrupt simplicity and modesty,
detrnct from contcntment and happi-
ness, that every one should be edu-
Gated to take in or shut out sounds,
according to his pleasure.
II man falls into violent passion,
and calls us all manner of names, at
the first word we should shut our ears,
and hear no more. If, in our quiet
voyage OF life, we find ourselves caught
III one of those domestic whirlwinds
OF scolding, we should shut our ears as
a sailor would furl his sa Is, and, MAX
ing all tight, scud before the gale. If
hot and restless man begins to in
flame our feelings, we should consider

If, as has been remarked, all the
petty things 50 d of one by needless or
i'll natured idlers were to be brought
home to him, he would become q mere
walking pin cushion stuck full of sharp
remarks. If we would be happy, when
among good men, we should open our
ears; when among bad men, shut them.
1t is not worth while to hear what our
neighbors say about our children, what
our rivals say about our business, our
dress, or our affairs.
The art of not hearing, though un-
taught in our schools, is by no means
Impractical in society. We have no.
ticed that a well-bred woman never
hears q vulgar or impertinent remark.
A kind of discreet deafness saves one

from not little connivance in dishon-

The great strength acquired by Port
land cement with solution of calcium
chloride is shown by the fact that even
the runners of cement mills are now
repaired with that mixture, the stones
being put to work within an hour of
repairing, the cement possessing per-
feet resistance and wearing less than
lead, which has been so largely en-
ployed for the same purpose. All
joints can by this means be made with
great facility, acquiring in a short time
extreme solidity, the slight swelling
during setting being also very useful
in filling the hollows and making good
adhesion. Setting hegins in three or
four months, and is attended with an
elevation of temperature that may at
tain to 20 degrees @. On being mixed
with calcium chloride, cement softens
if it is Immediately plunged into water
but after having been air-dried for
eight or ten days, it may be so inn
mersed without inconvenience or detri-
ment to its cohesion and hardness, or
dinarily damp air having no influence
upon the mixture. When great hard
ness and quick setting are part cularly
desired, the cement may be used in its
pure state, but in general an equal
mixture OF sharp sand is found to an
swer every purpose.
